My (early) birthday present from Marc was to go and see the Royal Military Tattoo. We had unbelievable seats...facing the castle, with disability seating below us so there was a completely unobscured view. It was jammed packed even though it was a preview night, and the media were invited. They were running around on the floor trying to get shots of the performers throughout, and almost got run over by the pipers a few times when they didn't move fast enough!
The United States was well represented by the Navy's group, they are very talented musicians. However I wasn't as thrilled with the theme...superhereos. The played the theme music for popeye, dennis the menace (a superhero?), batman, and spiderman. Throughout the castle was used as a screen to display images of the heroes....for batman they turned the castle into gotham. It seemed tacky, but the crowd loved it.
